[Shotimes] Oil pressure light on

Tue, 4 Feb 2003 13:59:17 -0500

It also works wonders in the power steering system. I put some in when I did
a flush of the original fluid about 3 months ago. Then I flushed out the
auto-rx and fluid with some more new atf. It is still very clean today after
2000 or so miles, and I'm just about to add another 3 oz and then switch to
synthetic ATF and a Magnefine filter on the PS system.

On my 95 SE with the auto-RX i also noticed about a 1mpg gain in fuel
economy. And thats on my tired old 120k vulcan engine
